  1. Isn’t on fire a pretty normal thing for The Russian Navy?

  2. It’s cold there good they now have fire to warm themselves, hell will be even better for them

  3. *On 24 December 2023, a fire broke out onboard Sevmorput while the vessel was moored at Atomflot’s base in Murmansk. According to the Russian news agency TASS, the fire was contained in one of the vessel’s cabins, was quickly extinguished, and there were no injuries.*

    From Wiki.

  4. If a nuclear ship burns, is there a risk of Chernobyling?

  5. TIL there are nuclear powered container ships. Sounds like a great idea.

  6. If meltdown the hilarity of Russia nuking Murmansk em themselves is kinda funny

  7. It’s probably the only remaining working method of converting onboard fuel stores to energy.

  8. Oh Tannenbaumb oh Tannenbaumb … foomp! 😂🤣😂🤣😂

  9. The overall price of the Sevmorput was reported to be around US$265 million in ’88. (wiki) Replacement cost is estimated at $400 million, so more that half the cost of a Moskva.

  10. Joining the rusting carrier Admiral Kuznetsov in Murmansk as another great example of Russian Maritime prowess.

  11. Best way to get fire and damage control training is on a Russian ship. You don’t even need to leave the pier!

  12. The US tried running a nuclear powered cargo ship back in the 60’s. Eventually it was realized how wildly stupid it was to have a civilian ship carrying around a nuclear reactor and retired it.
